All The Countries And Territories That DDFers Have Been To
« on: November 03, 2024, 07:11:20 PM »
Based on the What Countries Have You Been To thread, DDFers have collectively visited 198 countries and territories.

There are 71 remaining - how many can we cover? We can definitely "clean up" 2 or 3 continents easy, but many of the remaining countries or territories are incredibly difficult to get to.

That being said, I'm surprised no one here has yet been to North Korea, Syria, Uzbekistan, and a couple others. Did I miss something? Post below!

Here's where DDF stands:

Can you list the "not visited" places? Would make it easier to see if no one's been.

I'm surprised re Uzbekistan. My husband and I were planning to go this summer (canceled our plans for family simchos bh) and it is not an extremely difficult country to access, plus it has tons of (Jewish) history.

Should places without any population, or no feasible transport options for a non Gov employee, like "Johnston Atoll" or others, be removed or put in a different category?

Fair enough.

Midway and Wake would fall into that category as well, I think.

(Although Midway is crazy high on my bucket list but not really possible.)

ETA:
British Indian Ocean Territory
Bouvet Island
French Southern and Antarctic Lands
Heard Island and McDonald Islands
As well

Yup. This is the only real result that a DDF search turns up:

You can possibly cross off the ones below by following these links :) just some basic googling on ddf… also I would recommend asking @Saulius @Hershelsdeals  and @bluestrings if there are any of these countries that they have been to


IINM bluestrings wrote an article in the Ami about his visit to Uzbekistan.
